"Gideon, that's not how it works. If you really like our Yvette, shouldn't you treat her a bit better?" Yvette's father chimed in, his voice dripping with expectation over the table.
"Exactly, Gideon," her uncle added, leaning back in his chair, "Your family’s rolling in dough, and the cash gift you’ve offered is pretty, well, pathetic, don’t you think?"
"If you’re serious about marrying her, you ought to step it up a notch!"
"We’re not asking for a fortune, but you could at least help out Yvette’s little brother, right?"
"We get it, the Bakers probably look down on us, the Jansens, since you’ve got all that money! But, come on, that's your wife's family we’re talking about. Isn’t it a bit disrespectful? If even you don’t respect us, how can you expect others to?"
"So, if you’re set on marrying our Yvette, just increase the money! We’re not being unreasonable here, just triple it, and we’re good! Don’t think we don’t know you’ve got the cash!"
"Honestly, the wealthier folks get, the stingier they seem!"
"Yvette’s a real gem, you know. Raising her took a lot of time and money! It's like you're buying her out, so you need to pay up properly, or there’s no wedding!"
Yvette's family, along with a bunch of distant relatives, were all clamoring around Gideon, pressuring him to cough up more money. If he didn't, well, the wedding was off the table.
Gideon’s face was a stormy shade of red; he didn’t say a word, just stood there, taking in the scene.
Yvette stood anxiously by his side, her nervousness growing by the second. She knew Gideon was already on the fence about marrying her.
After all, he had a reputation. He’d bailed on Calliope at the altar once before. A second time wouldn’t be much of a stretch for him.
If he really got fed up and decided to walk away, what would that mean for her?

The readers' comments on the novel: A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust
Oh wrestling expert ey? So is this Khamzat Chimaev or Shavkat Rakhmonov? Because Khabib's would be too haram....
Oh no. Million is just mix of Conor McGregor, Islam Makhachev, Mike Tyson, Max Holloway, Anderson Silva... I bet he lands 5sec flying knees like Jorge Masvidal too. Oh nope, 1sec knees. And has faster left hooks than Alex Pereira. Definitely would win UFC championship in every weight division including women. Poor Zhang Weili....
Okay so.... Million is now from East. Arctic wolf from East, modified genetically so he can manage his own Instagram and probably also box like Mike Tyson and snapping left hooks like Alex Pereira....
This is starting to be the same twister of abilities as Cassandra Yates and Tiffany. But question is, why the hell Silas can't just open his mouth and tell Caliope that she's the one whom he has in his heart. He would prevent a lot of misunderstanding. Seems like despite capability of talking with modified arctic wolf, she's not like telepathic....
Oh no, so FL is again another hidden genius with both hemispheres working on hundreds... Ffffuuuu. Cassandra Yates and Tiffany were already enough, ughugh. And Tiffany was even more exaggerated than Cassandra....
That's weird, in the first chapters there was said that her bio parents and bros doteď on Caliope but then they adopted Lisette, but this chapter suddenly says otherwise. Did author forget what he wrote?...
I REALLLYYY REALLLYYYY REALLYYYYYY WANT TO SLAP THE 3 BROTHERS WHENEVER THEY OPEN THEIR MOUTH !!! AND THEIR MOM !!!...
Why has this not been updated ?? there were 5 more chapters which was released and it has not been updated.. Please do update on regular basis......
